The bib module has a problem with processing my bibliography files.  
Here is my amateur diagnosis. There are hundreds of entries in my  
bibliography file in which the % character is part of the url. When  
the bib module comes across a %, it ignores everything else on the  
line, including the closing brace, }. Bad things follow.

Here's some evidence for my diagnosis. I tried editing the urls by  
replacing "%" with "\%". When the urls are written that way,  
everything works smoothly. But that is an undesirable solution. Among  
other things, it renders the url inaccurate.

So, I have two questions:

1. Is that diagnosis correct?
2. What can I do about it (short of deleting the url field)?

Thank you!

Here is a minimal example (1 and 2) followed by the log entry (3).

1. The test document

\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database=biblio]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa]

\starttext

Adamson wrote an important paper \cite[Adamson:1987yq].

\completepublications
\stoptext

2. The BibTeX entry

3. The relevant part of the log
